You are required to fill a registration form that you can get from the front desk at a fee of UGX. 20,000=. The best place to get it is to come to the school, find out about all the various classes we have and the schedules then register with all at hand.

Ans: We have many courses and this depends on your agenda, goals and effort.

Our schedule is tailored really for lessons once a week, so I wouldn’t worry about being a full time student at this point. You can join now and pay for the lessons you will take.

The more effort you put in to practice, the faster you progress in your instrument.

Qn: Can a person pay in installments?

Ans: Yes

Qn: What does a student achieve after the course?

Qn: Can KMS send the teachers at home?

Ans: Yes, if the client provides transport for the commuting teacher. We encourage the student to come to the school because it is a conducive environment for learning.

Qn: Does it cost the same when teachers find the children at home as when the children are brought to school?

Ans: No, but the price is dependent on your location.

Qn: Can I have more than one lesson a week?

Ans: Yes; you can have lessons more than once a week up to 3 lessons as you will be required to dedicate the other days to practice.

Qn: Why should we come only once a week?

Ans: Coming to school once a week helps because it gives the student ample time to practice.

Qn: 30/45/60 minutes once a week seems very little time can a person progress

Ans: It is enough time and yes a person progresses as long as they have the interest to learn and attain the skill and practice. The student will be required to use most of the week learning and perfecting the skill as taught in class.

Qn: What difference is there between this course and the MDD?

Ans: MDD is a combination of Music, Dance and Drama whereas KMS specializes in Music with emphasis on classical music and Jazz.

Qn: Is it possible to do all the instruments at the same time?

Ans: No, not if one is a beginner at all of them, these instruments need concentration and time.

Qn: What can a starting student achieve after one term?

Ans: He achieves the foundation of basic technique for the instrument.

Qn: How can I arrange for private lessons?

They learn different aspects of music like rhythm games, clapping beats, singing, and simple instrumentation like drums. They don’t do any instruments as they are still young but this class helps builds into the instrument class.
